I applied for this position and I've still not heard back from them

They got a high number of applicants as usual.
It’s always good to be patient in the railway because you may hear something after a long time.

I must be the only person still waiting to hear back from ARL, only communication I had was a Ashley Herbert asking for my DOB and N.I

Anybody else still waiting ?

I haven't even had that!

I thing the Underground are doing a recruitment campaign in March for Part time tube drivers. Keep a look out for that one too mate!

Some people take years to get their foot in the door.

From reading the comments, are you all for Willesden depot? I applied for New Cross so wondering if that has anything to do with the lack of response!

I’ve applied for New Cross also.

Guys quick question; when you apply for a job on the ARL job page when you login, if the application result is pending then it stays highlighted in orange however if you get rejected it just stays on your applied job section but you know its not live anymore because its grey anyway i applied for new cross gate for trainee driver, i know the position is closed now but i applied within its time a few months back however they didnt even give me the rejection email and its not live anymore (not highlighted in orange anymore), anyone know why that could be

Just had the good news to confirm that I passed Stage 2!

Got the DMI pencilled in for Friday (waiting for them to confirm details)!

Time to put my researching skills back to use!

Teddyward · 19 Feb 2018

I passed all the national tests on stage 2 but failed the third part of the TOC specific VSE.
Next time.

Sorry to hear that bud. But on the plus side, you’re through the national standard and that can be taken to another toc, or even back to ARL for next time!
Less hoops to jump through in the future!

Cheers. As soon as I finished it I knew what I did wrong and the examiner confirmed it. I ended up subconsciously prioritising the wrong part on the combined part.

Mine was never highlighted in Orange.. And the last updated date / time is the same initial summited date / time! So basically nothing at all has happened at any point.

To be honest bud , although i passed, i also kept prioritising the shapes, instead of the train, i think most people get drawn to it . I reckon that is because the shapes keep coming, while the train just changes now and again.

It was ok I feel I done ok more so on some questions than others! They said something about a call tomorow. It not sure if I missed understood them I'm guessing maybe I have now if you didn't know until a week after

Oh wow 2 hours I was hoping that if I got it they would call me today so am nervous about when they call me now as they will let me know either way

Mike Tyson · 20 Feb 2018

Don’t worry about it mate! I think their early courses are full now so they prob just aren’t rushing it at the moment.

Best of luck to you bud!

That's just it I don't think there courses are full from what they was saying!!! One thing I did find strange was that I applied for wilsden but thery asked if I would consider new cross

That’s a good sign then mate because it probably means they got a new cross course coming up and want you on it!
